dr_blackman Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I would like some 18's budget up to £800 ish with tyres really.... Or would i be best to stick with 17's - i think they will look too small like my stock 16's do... I have a 1998 Quick silver na btw.... I would like the alloys to be able to fit over uk spec brakes. I'm getting confused with all the width i.e 7, 7.5, 8 and tyre sizes? Been looking at this site do the tyres they recommend size wise sounds right? http://www.alloywheels.com/search.asp?numrecordposition=1&strSize=18%22&strkeywords=5x114%20et35,5x114%20et37,5x114%20et38,5x114%20et40,5x114%20et42&strSort=Low&Make=Toyota&Model=Supra%20Mk4%20Import I like the deep dish look, but i also love my 5 spoke, sort of kahn look... Any suggestions lol, i've never bought after market alloys before and there's to much choice lol Plus I dont want to make a mistake! Dave.

Nic Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Dave, if your budget is £800 including tyres buy a decent set of quality second hand wheels or save up a bit longer. Any new wheels + tyres that cheap will be poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Dave, if your budget is £800 including tyres buy a decent set of quality second hand wheels or save up a bit longer. Any new wheels + tyres that cheap will be poor quality. I don't know how much you can get the ones on mine for but I love them!! The are Ace130's but they are only 8.5" all round..... The car grips really well but if I had a TT I would defo want wider on the back! Not sure if they clear UK's though!! Here's a pic! http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/8378/pict0868ul2.jpg I would expect them to be quite cheap. Would look good on gummetal me thinks too! H.

dr_blackman Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Sounds like i better save up a bit longer then lol.... Gaz's alloys do look lush i keep looking at them..... If only he did a finance package with some tyres lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_blackman Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 lol @ Havard yep must agree with you there Quicksilver is good at hiding the dirt though lol.... just washed mine and before i started i never knew how dirty it actually was as at quick glance it never looked to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look dirty that much but I like to be reminded that it needs cleaning. Not looking forward to the winter though. You go out in the wet once and it's filthy. My wifes BM is gunmetal and that hides the dirt well but looks great when cleaned! So you aren't keen on my wheels then Dr Blackmman...... H.

dr_blackman Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 I think they suit a silver car mate Think i'd go for the silvery/grey one's on mine as my quicksilver is quite a bit darker than yours and dont think it would look as good to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car looks white mate. Gotta agree the silver grey jobs do look great. It was a toss up between them. Worth saving up for though, guys at Protyre were drooling over 'em.

They're Falkens mate medium in terms of quality compared to Pirelli's etc. but good enough. 400 notes all in with balance, fit, tracking done.
